Brown v. Board of Education

Question 7 • DRHS American Literature and Composition

Which is true of both the Plessy and Brown cases?

Answer
A
Both were attempts to show that segregation was unconstitutional.
B
Both were filed by people who lived in Louisiana.
C
Both discussed whether Black American children could ride in public train cars.
D
Both were attempts to overturn the Thirteenth Amendment.

Explanation

Both Plessy v. Ferguson and Brown v. Board of Education challenged racial segregation under the Constitution. Plessy concerned segregation on Louisiana trains, while Brown challenged segregation in public schools. Therefore, both were attempts to show that segregation was unconstitutional. Brown was not about train cars, and neither case sought to overturn the Thirteenth Amendment.
